Summary

Experiencing both British and American imperialism as the old Arab order crumbled in the late 40s and early 50s, this memoir of Edward Said's early life reveals the influences that have informed his books - Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism.

Out of Place Summary

Out of Place: A Memoir by Edward Said

A story of displacement and exile, a narrative of departures, and a celebration of identity as something multiple, and fluid. It brings together the two disparate halves of Said's experience as an American and as an Arab.
